Whole numbers

Whole numbers: A number line starting from 0 (Zero) and marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, …… at equal
distances on the right hand side of 0 is called a number line representing whole numbers.

Thus, a whole number on a number line is of the form as shown below:

Even and Odd Whole Numbers from 1 to 9

Even Whole numbers from 1 to 9

An even number is a number that can be divided into two


equal groups.
Page | 3
Example: -

0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 are even numbers

Because, 8 ÷ 2 = 4 so, 8 is an even number

6 ÷ 2 = 3 so, 6 is an even number

Odd Whole Numbers from 1 to 9

An odd number is a number that cannot be divided into two equal groups.

Examples: -

1, 3, 5, 7, and 9

Because, all the above numbers cannot be divided into two equal parts.

Even and Odd Whole Numbers

- Even numbers end in 2, 4, 6, 8 and 0 regardless of how many digits they have.
Example: - 562 is even number because 2 is even number.
780 is even number because 0 is even number.
- Even numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 regardless of how many digits they have.
Example: - 123 is odd number because 3 is odd number.
87 is odd number because 7 is odd number.

Properties of Whole Numbers

The properties of whole numbers are as follows:

- The number 0 is the first and the smallest whole numbers.


- All natural numbers along with zero are called whole numbers.
Page | 5
- There is no last or greatest whole number.
- There is no largest whole number since they are infinite.
- There is infinitely many or uncountable number of whole numbers.
- All natural numbers are whole numbers.
- Each number is 1 more than its previous number.
- All whole numbers are not natural numbers.
For example: 0 is a whole number but it is not a natural number.

The Number Zero

- The number zero is not regarded as natural number.


- To understand the concept of zero, let us consider the following example:

Suppose we have to distribute 8 pencils equally among three children. After distributing 2 pencils to
each child, we are left with 2 pencils. Whereas if we have to distribute 6 pencils equally among 3
children, we are left with no pencils or zero pencils as
remainder.

Thus, zero pencils mean absence of pencils or simply


no pencils. We represent the number by the symbol 0.
Thus, 0 represents the absence of item being referred
to or nothingness or emptiness.

Successor and Predecessor

Definition of Successor:

The number which comes immediately after a particular number is called its successor.

Number + 1 = Successor

Definition of Predecessor:

The number which comes just before a particular number is called its predecessor.

Number + 1 = Predecessor

Example: -

Page | 8 Revision on addition subtraction of whole numbers up to 20


Addition

The addition is taking two or more numbers and adding them together, that is, it is the total sum of 2 or
more numbers.

Example:

How many apples are there in all?

There are 7 apples in one basket and 4 apples in the other. So, we add 7 and 4 to find the total number
of apples.

To add 7 and 4, we can count forward 4 steps from 7

The symbol used to indicate Addition is + (plus symbol).

So, 7 and 4 can be written as 7 + 4

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT ONE

The numbers that are added are called addends and the answer to addition is called the sum. In an
addition sentence, the addends are added to get the sum.

Addition of small numbers can be done using your fingers too.

Examples:

Representation of Whole Numbers on Number Line

Numbers on a line is called the representation of whole numbers on number line.

The number line also helps us to compare two whole numbers, i.e., to decide which of the two given
whole numbers is greater or smaller.

In order to represent whole numbers on a number line, we draw a straight line and mark a point O on it.

Starting from O, mark points A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, etc. on the line at equal distances to the right of O.

Label the point O as 0.

Let us take OA = 1 unit. Then, AB = BC = CD = DE = 1 unit.

Now,

OB = OA + AB = (1 + 1) units = 2 units,

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT ONE

OC = OB + BC = (2 + 1) units = 3 units,

OD= OC + CD = (3 + 1) units = 4 units and so on.

Since O corresponds to the whole number 0, therefore, A, B, C, D, etc. correspond to the whole numbers
Page | 10 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. respectively.

The arrow marks on both ends of the line indicate that the number line extends indefinitely on both
sides.

Addition and subtraction of two digit numbers with carrying and borrowing

2-Digit Addition with Carry Over

When we add two or more numbers, we add digits of one’s place, ten’s place etc. If the sum of digits of
one’s place is more than 9, it contains the number having tens and ones, as 8 + 5 = 13 = 10 + 3, i.e., one
ten and 3 ones. This one ten is carried over to the digit or digits in the ten’s place.

Solved examples 2-digit addition with carry-over are given in the following:

1. Add 59 and 37.

Solution:

Tens Ones (i) Digits at one’s place are added first i.e. 9 + 7 = 16 =
1
1 ten and 6 ones
5 9
(ii) 1 (one) ten is carried over to ten’s side.
+ 3 7
(iii) Now digits at tens place are added i.e., 5 + 3 = 8
9 6
tens.

To this sum i.e., 8, the carried over 1 ten is also added.

Thus, 8 tens + 1 ten = 9 tens.


Therefore, sum of 59 and 37 = 96
(iv) Therefore, sum is 9 tens and 6 ones, i.e., 96.

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.

2. Add 65 and 47.

Solution:

Tens Ones (i) Digits at one’s place are added first i.e. 5 + 7 = 12 =

1 ten and 2 ones
Page | 16 6 5
(ii) 1 (one) ten is carried over to ten’s side.
+ 4 7
(iii) Now digits at tens place are added i.e., 6 + 4 = 10
11 2
tens.

To this sum i.e., 10, the carried over 1 ten is also


Therefore, sum of 65 and 47 = 112 added.

Thus, 10 tens + 1 ten = 11 tens.

(iv) Therefore, sum is 11 tens and 2 ones, i.e., 112.

Subtracting 2-digit Numbers with Borrowing

Here we will learn subtracting 2-digit numbers with borrowing. The subtractions with borrowing are
solved step-by-step in four different ways.

Worked-out examples on subtracting 2-digit numbers with borrowing:

1. Subtract 9 from 15.

Solution:

T O

1 5

- 9

Since, 5 < 9, so 9 cannot be subtracted from 5. So, 1 ten, i.e., 10 ones is borrowed from the digit 1 of
tens place. Now one ten, i.e., 10 ones are added to 5 ones to make it 15 ones. Now 15 ones – 9 ones = 6
ones.

Therefore, 15 – 9 = 6

2. Subtract 37 from 65

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT ONE

Solution:

The numbers are placed in column form, with the smaller number 37 written under the greater number
65.

T O
Page | 17
1 T → 10

6 5

- 3 7

2 8

(i) first ones are subtracted as 5 < 7 or 7 > 5. So, 7 cannot be subtracted from 5.

(ii) Now 1 ten is borrowed from 6 tens leaving 5 tens there.

(iii) 1 ten = 10 ones. So, 10 ones are added to 5 ones making the sum 15 ones

(iv) 7 ones are subtracted from 15 ones i.e., 15 ones – 7 ones = 8 ones. This 8 is written in one’s column.

(v) Now tens are subtracted. At ten’s place there are 5 tens left. So 5 tens – 3 tens = 2 tens. So, 2 is
written in ten’s column.

(vi) Therefore, 65 – 37 = 28.

3. Subtract 28 from 83

Solution:

The smaller number 28 is written under greater number 83 in column form and ones are subtracted
first, then the tens.

T O

1 T → 10

8 3

- 2 8

5 5

(i) 3 < 8, so 1 ten, i.e., 10 ones are borrowed from 8 tens with 7tens remaining there.

(ii) Now, 1 ten + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13 ones. So, 13 ones – 8 ones = 5 ones.

(iii) 7 tens – 2 tens = 5 tens.

Therefore, 83 – 28 = 55

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT ONE

4. Subtract 69 from 92

Solution:

The smaller number 69 is written under greater number 92 in column form and ones are subtracted
first, then the tens.
Page | 18
T O

1 T → 10

9 2

- 6 9

2 3

(i) 10 + 2 = 12; 12 O – 9 O = 3 O

(ii) 8 T – 6 T = 2 T

Therefore, 92 – 69 = 23

Thus, 0 multiplied by any number is always zero

Therefore, there are 0 fruits.

(ii) When 7 packs each having zero crayons.

By repeated addition we can show 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0

Then, zero 7 times or 7 zero’s


In conclusion:
7 × 0 = 0,
- The product of any number and 0 is ZERO.
Therefore, there are 0 crayons.

UNIT TWO

Now we will learn how to do forward counting and backward counting by 0’s.

Forward counting by 0’s: 0, since 0 added to 0 is always a zero.

Backward counting by 0’s: 0, since 0 subtracted from 0 is always a zero.

Page | 26 Dividing by ‘0’


Now, let us try dividing the 12 chocolates among zero people, how much does each person get?

Does that question even make sense? No, of course it doesn't.

We can't share among zero people, and we can't divide by 0.

Another Good Reason

After dividing, can we multiply to get back again?

But multiplying by 0 gives 0, so that won't work.

Once again, dividing by zero gives us difficulties!


In conclusion:

MULTIPLYING AND DIVIDING BY ‘1’ When we try to divide by zero, things stop making
sense
Multiplying 1

Repeated addition by 1’s means the multiplication table of 1.

(i) When 3 candle-stand having 1 candle each.

By repeated addition we can show 1 + 1 + 1 = 3

Then, one 3 times or 3 one’s

3×1=3

Therefore, there are 3 candles.

(ii) When 8 groups having 1 lollipop each.

By repeated addition we can show 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8

Then, one 8 times or 8 one’s

8×1=8

Therefore, there are 8 lollipops.

- Any number divided by 1 is the number itself

Important properties
Page | 28
Property 1: Property II:
When a non-zero number is divided by
When a number is divided by 1, the itself, the quotient is 1.
quotient is the number itself. (i) 7 ÷ 7 = 1,
(ii) 9 ÷ 9 = 1,
(i) 7 ÷ 1 = 7,
(iii) 5 ÷ 5 = 1, etc.
(ii) 9 ÷ 1 = 9, (iv) 3 ÷ 3 = 1,
(v) 1 ÷ 1 = 1,
(iii) 5 ÷ 1 = 5, (vi) 19 ÷ 19 = 1, etc.
(iv) 11 ÷ 1 = 11,

(v) 15 ÷ 1 = 15,

(vi) 21 ÷ 1 = 21, etc.

Property III: Property IV:


Dividing any number by 0 (zero) is
meaningless. When 0 (zero) is divided by any non-
(i) 8/0 = meaningless zero, the quotient is zero.
As, 8 – 0 = 8, 8 – 0 = 8, 8 – 0 = 8 ……..
As, any number × 0 = 0 so, 0 ÷ any
the process has no end.
number = 0
(ii) 17/0 = meaningless
As, 17 – 0 = 17, 17 – 0 = 17, 17 – 0 = (i) 2 × 0 = 0 gives 0 ÷ 2 = 0,
17 …….. the process has no end.
(iii) 11/0 = meaningless (ii) 5 × 0 = 0 gives 0 ÷ 5 = 0,
As, 11 – 0 = 11, 11 – 0 = 11, 11 – 0 =
(iii) 7 × 0 = 0 gives 0 ÷ 7 = 0,
11 …….. the process has no end.
(iv) 11 × 0 = 0 gives 0 ÷ 11 = 0,

(v) 16 × 0 = 0 gives 0 ÷ 16 = 0,
etc.

Therefore, to find the quotient using division property it’s important to know the properties for solving
division when the; divisor is 1, divisor is same as dividend, divisor is 0 and dividend is 0.

INTRODUCTION TO FRACTION
Fraction as a Part of a Whole
Page | 57 How is fraction as a part of a whole?

We know, a fraction means a part. So, fraction is the part of a whole object.

Thus, a fraction is the part of a collection or collections of objects.

A fraction is a part of a whole number say 1, 2, 3, 4, ……. 150 ……. etc.

Thus, a number which is not a whole number is known as a fractional number.

For example; 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, …………… are fractional numbers.

Pictures of fraction as a part of a whole:

1. When an object as a whole is divided into two parts, there are two possibilities. The parts may be
equal or unequal.

Each equal part of a whole is called one-half. It is expressed as 1/2 and read as one over two or one
upon two.

(i)

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT FOUR

If a colorful sheet of paper is taken and one edge is brought on to the opposite edge and a crease is
made in the middle, then this crease divides the sheet of paper into two equal parts. Each part will be
one half of the whole sheet.

Page | 58
(ii)

The circle is also be divided into two half circles. Each of the two equal parts is called half of the whole.
Similarly, each of the two equal parts of a square is known as the half fraction as a part of a whole.

2. Again if we take a sheet which was earlier divided into two equal parts by folding, it can again be
divided by a second fold in the middle.

Thus, the sheet is divided into four equal parts. Each equal part is called one-fourth or a quarter of the
whole sheet. Thus, any whole can be divided into four equal parts and each part is one-fourth or a
quarter of the whole. It is expressed as 1/4 and read as one over four or one upon four.

If we consider two parts of the four equal parts of a whole it will represent 2/4 or two fourths, i.e. two
one-fourth or half.

If we consider three parts of the four equal parts of a whole, it will represent 3/4 or three-fourths or
three quarters. It is also read as three upon four.

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT FOUR

3. If a sheet is divided into three equal parts, then each part is called one-third of the whole sheet.

Thus, one of the three equal parts of a whole is called one-third of it and expressed as 1/3, which
is written as one-third or one upon three.
Page | 59
See the pictures shows three equal parts of a sheet. →

Similarly, if a circle is divided into three equal parts, each part is called one-third of the whole circle. One
third is represented by 1/3 or, one upon three or, one three.

See the pictures shows three equal parts of a circle. →

4. How can we fairly share one apple between two children? How much will each child get? Let us cut
the apple in three different ways.

Now, let us compare the shaded parts which the un shaded parts in each picture. In picture (i) the
shaded part is smaller than the unshaded part. In picture (ii) the shaded part is larger than the unshaded
part. In picture (iii) shaded and unshaded parts are equal. We say that apple is divided into equal halves.
One part is called one-half.

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT FOUR

There are two halves in a whole. Each half is written as 1212. It is read as one by two.

5. 1/2, 1/3, 2/4, 2/3, 3/4, ……… , etc., are called fractions or fractional numbers.

1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 5/5, 1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 4/6, 5/6, ………… etc., are also fractions. Any part or part of a whole
one is known as a fraction. A fraction is expressed by two numbers having a small horizontal line
Page | 60
between them.

The number above the small line is called the numerator or top number and the number below the
small line is called denominator or bottom number.

As, in 4/5, where 4 is the numerator and 5 is the denominator

We say one whole is divide into 5 equal parts from which if 4 parts are taken, it may be expressed as 4/5
which is a fractional number or fraction.

The above explanation will help us to understand how the fraction as a part of a whole number.

WHOLE NUMBERS UP TO 1,000
Multiples of 100
Page | 63

Multiples of 100 are numbers that can be divided by 100 without a remainder.

To create a list of multiples of 100, we first multiply 100 by 1 to get the first multiple of 100 which is 100,
then we multiply 100 by 2 to get the second multiple of 100 which is 200, then we multiply 100 by 3 to
get the third multiple of 100 which is 300, and so on.

You get the idea. We can do this all day long and there is no end to the number of multiples of 100 we
can make. Obviously, it is impossible to list all multiples of 100, since there are an infinite number of
multiples of 100.

However, we have listed the first ten multiples of 100 below. We have also listed the first one hundred

Formation of Numbers

In formation of numbers we will learn the numbers having different numbers of digits.

We know that:

(i) Greatest number of one digit = 9,

Smallest number of 2 digits = 10.

(If one is added to 9, we get 9 + 1 = 10).

(ii) Greatest number of 2 digits = 99,

Smallest number of 3 digits = 100.

(If one is added to 99, we get 99 + 1 = 100).

(iii) Greatest number of 3 digits = 999,

Smallest number of 4 digits = 1000.

(If one is added to 999, we get 999 + 1 = 1000).

Place Value

The place value of a digit in a number is the value it holds to be at the place in the number. We know
about the place value and face value of a digit and we will learn about it in details.

We know that each digit in a number has a place. The place that a digit occupies in a number tells us
about its place value.

Let us take a 3-digit number 915

915 = 9 hundreds 1 ten and 5 ones.

We note that the digit 9 in the number

915 is at hundreds place.

So, the place value of digit 9 is 9 hundred or 900.

The place value of digit 1 is 1 ten or 10.

The place value of digit 5 is 5 ones or 5.

Example: -

In the number 475, the digit 5 is at one’s place, digit 7 is at ten’s place and digit 4 is at hundred’s place.

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT FIVE

So, place value of 5 = 5, place value of 7 = 7 × 10 = 70, and place value of 4 is 4 × 100 = 400.

Thus, for the place value of a digit, the digit is multiplied by the place value of 1 it has to be that place.

Page | 67 Example:
In 768;

the place value of 8 = 8 × 1 = 8

the place value of 6 = 6 × 10 = 60 and

the place value of 7 is 7 × 100 = 700.

Exercise: -

1. Write the place-value of 5 in the given numbers:

530, 215, 35, 751

852, 5, 536, 501

(i) 103 = ____________________________________

(ii) 746 = ____________________________________

(iii) 924 = ____________________________________

(iv) 218 = ____________________________________

Names of the Numbers

The name is taken according to place values of the digits, starting from highest place value to lowest
place value.

(i) 56 = 50 + 6 = fifty six.

(ii) 93 is named as ninety three (place value of 9 = 90, of 3 is 3). We can expand the number and then it
is named as.

93 = 90 + 3 = ninety-three.
(iii) 375

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT FIVE

= 300 + 70 + 5.

So, the name is three hundred seventy-five.

Page | 68 (iv) 729


= 700 + 20 + 9.

So, the name is seven hundred twenty-nine.


(v) 584 = 500 + 80 + 4.

Five hundred eighty four.


(vi) 367 = 300 + 60 + 7.

Three hundred sixty seven.

(vii) 578 = 500 + 70 + 8

five hundred seventy eight.

Expanded form of a Number

The number written as sum of the place-values of its digits is called the expanded form of a number.

In expanded form of a number, the number is shown according to the place values of its digits.

This is shown here:

In 385, the place values of the digits are given below:

Hence, 385 = 300 + 80 + 5

Thus, 2000 + 300 + 80 + 5 is the expanded form of 2385.

Comparison of Numbers

How to learn and understand comparison of numbers?

Rules for Comparison of Numbers:

Rule I: We know that a number with more digits is always greater than the number with less number of
digits.

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT FIVE

Rule II: When the two numbers have the same number of digits, we start comparing the digits from left
most place until we come across unequal digits.

To learn and understand comparison of numbers the rules are generalized here:

Rule (1): The number/numeral having more digits is greater.


Page | 71
We know that a number with more digits is always greater than the number with less number of digits.

(i) The number of 2 digits is greater than the number of one digit.

(ii) The number of 3 digits is greater than the number having 2 or 1 digit.

(iii) The number of 4 digits is greater than 3 or 2 or 1 digit number.

(iv) 5-digit number > 4-digit number > 3-digit number ………… etc.

(v) 6-digit number > 5-digit number > 4-digit number ………… etc.

As:

10 > 9;

100 > 99 > 9;

239 > 98;

1250 > 998;

23051 > 8735;

351246 > 92835 > 5298 > 376 > 93.

Example:

Which is greater?

(i) 589 or 56

(ii) 40,201 or 4,999

(iii) 1,29,081 or 90,281

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT FIVE

Solution:

(i) 589 or 56

The number 589 has 3-digits and 56 has 2-digits.

Page | 72 So, 589 > 56

(ii) 201 or 9

201 has 3 digits and 9 has 1 digits.

So, 201 > 9

Rule (2): (a) If two numbers have the same number of digits, we compare them on the basis of their
extreme left digits. The number with the greater extreme left digit is greater.

As:

(i) 514 > 298, because 5 > 2

(ii) 638 > 578, because 6 > 5

(iii) 316 > 198, because 3 > 1

(iv) 46 > 38, because 4 > 3

(b) If the extreme left digits of two numbers are the same, we compare them on the basis of the next
digits towards their right and so on.

As:

(i) 643 > 638, because 6 = 6, but 4 > 3

(ii) 247 > 221, because 2 = 2, but 4 > 2

In other words;

When the two numbers have the same number of digits, we start comparing the digits from the left
most place until we come across unequal digits.

POINTS, LINES AND SHAPES
Point: A point is the fundamental element of geometry. If we put the tip of a pencil on a paper and press
Page | 75 it lightly, we see a very small mark on the paper. This mark is known as a point.
The smallest mark denotes the existence of a point. We say that a point does not have any length,
breadth or thickness, but it has a definite position.

It can be named by a capital letter of the English alphabet like A, B, C, ……. etc.

In short, we can make a small dot on a paper by using a sharp pencil or a tip of the needle. It is called a
point. It represents a position and is marked by a capital letter A, B, C etc. A point has no size or shape.
So, on a line an infinite number of points exist.

Line: If two points are made at a distance on a surface and are joined by a pencil then a part of a line is
formed. The part of the line will be straight if the surface is plane and curved if the surface is curved.

Thus, if we join any two points with a ruler and extend it on both sides, a line is formed.

A line is indicated by drawing arrow-heads on both sides of the part of a line.

The arrow-heads at the ends indicate that the line goes on in both directions. A line has no end, so it has
not a definite length.

The name of a line is indicated by two capital letters of the English alphabet.

The symbol ↔ is placed over the letters as AB, CD.

These explanations on points, lines and shapes will help the kids to understand the different
fundamental element of geometry and how they are indicated.

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT SIX

In short, a line is a straight path of points. A line has no beginning or end. A line is named by a single
small letter l, m, n, etc. A line is also represented as AB. A line can be straight or curved.

Line-Segment, Ray and Line

Page | 76

Only one line can be drawn passing through any two points but a number of lines can be drawn through
a point.

Ray: We know about sun-rays. A sun-ray starts from the sun and goes on a direction up to endless
space. Similarly, a geometrical ray is considered a special kind of line which starts from a fixed point and
goes to any distance to the other direction of the starting point.

The name of a ray is given with two capital letters. One letter is written at the starting point of the ray
and the other letter is written near the arrow end as AB and LM.

A line, line segment and ray all are called one dimensional (1-D) figures as they have only length.

Two Dimensional Shapes

A 2D (two-dimensional) shape can be defined as a plane figure that can be drawn on a flat surface. It has
only two dimensions – length and width, with no thickness or depth.

Some of the basic 2D shapes are quadrilateral, square, triangle and circle.
Page | 78
Quadrilateral, square, triangle and circle

Quadrilateral

A simple closed curve or a polygon formed by four line-segments or sides is called a quadrilateral.

The four line-segments forming a quadrilateral are called its sides.

For example - squares, rectangles,


rhombuses, trapeziums and
parallelograms are quadrilaterals.

A quadrilateral has four sides and four


angles.

The symbol of a quadrilateral is □.

Each shape shown to the right is a


quadrilateral.

(i) Rectangle:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles.

It has two pairs of opposite sides i.e., it has four sides. The opposite sides are equal.

It has four corners i.e., vertices.

Here the name of rectangle is rect. ABCD.

A, B, C, D are corners or vertices of the rectangle.


Side AB = DC, Side BC = AD.

(ii) Square:

A square is a special kind of rectangle, it is one where all the sides have the same
length.

All its sides are equal to each other.


It has four corners or vertices.

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT SIX

PQRS is the name of the square whose sides PQ = QR = RS = SP and P, Q, R, S are four corners.

Triangle

A triangle has three sides and three corners.

Page | 79
DEF is a triangle whose sides are DE, EF and DF.

The triangle has three corners or vertices named D, E and F.

Circle

The outline of the plane surface of a cone forms a circle.

It has a center whose distance from any point on the outline is always the same.

This distance is called the radius of the circle.

A circle has no corner and no side.

Three-Dimensional Figures

Solid figures: Solid shapes are 3-dimensional shapes.

It means solid shapes have length, width and height.

Like cuboid, cube, cylinder, cone, sphere, triangular prism, etc. These are called solid figures or solids.
They are also known as three dimensional (3-D) figures.

They occupy space. In real life many objects which are seen in our surroundings have the shape of any
one or many of the solids.

(iii) Edges: The two faces of a solid meet in a line, called an edge.

Types of solid shapes:

Cube:

Every face of a cube is a square.

It has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 corners (vertices).

All the sides of a cube are equal.

Cuboid:

Every face of a cube is a rectangle.

It has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 corners (vertices).

Opposite sides of a cuboid are equal.

businesses.

Let’s practice this with word problem

Example: -

The cost of a shirt is 225 birr. What will be the cost of 3 such shirts?

The following figure shows the cost of one T-shirt

MATHEMATICS REFERENCE BOOK FOR GRADE TWO.


UNIT SEVEN

But for three T-shirt would be

Page | 93

three ‘200’ birr + six ‘10’birr + three ‘five’ birr notes

add all the above birr as follows,

200 + 200 + 200 = 600 birr

10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 60 birr

5 + 5 + 5 = 15 birr

Therefore, 600 birr + 60 birr + 15 birr = 675 birr.

The cost of three T-shirt would be 675 birr.

A simple pattern of numbers and shapes

Math Patterns

To find a missing counting number in a sequence or pattern:First we need to determine if the order of
the counting numbers is in ascending order (from smaller number it’s getting larger in value) or
Page | 101
descending order (from larger number it’s becoming smaller in value).

Then we need to find the difference between the numbers that are next to each other.

Now we need to use the difference between the numbers to find the missing number.

For Example:

Find the missing number: 19, 17, ?, 13.

Solution:

Let’s observe step – by – step:

(i) The order of numbers is going downwards or decreasing or descending (from larger number it’s
becoming smaller in value).

(ii) The difference between each numbers is 19 - 17 = 2

(iii) Since the order is in descending order subtract 2 from 17. Then the missing number is 15.

The world around us is made of various patterns. We already know about repeating growing and
reducing patterns.

A repeating pattern is a sequence of repeating objects, shapes or numbers. Repeating patterns have the
same unit repeating. Following are some examples of repeating patterns.
